Sometimes a building is special even before the first brick has been laid. Its uniqueness is embedded in its very design. In the elegance with which an imagined structure solves real world challenges. In how it fits into and augments its surroundings even as a figment of fancy, a gleam in the mind’s eye.

Some buildings become special in their making, their essence, like God, lying in the details. In the choice and application of stones, sand, pebbles, timber, glass, steel and other material objects that tell a story when we feel them under our fingers. In its blending of art forms - traditional or modern, or the weeks of craftsmanship that may go into embellishing a single stairwell. In the hand of every master builder, bricklayer, carpenter, painter, who take such pride in their work as to make every square inch count.

And then there are buildings that go beyond mere physicality and become something greater than the sum of their parts. In the spaces they create for posterity, the activities and inner lives they enable within their walls, and in the good they do for their surroundings and nearby communities.
